[QUOTE="BlueAngel2014, post: 14868469, member: 168572"] Yes. I had this crap start on my Lincoln MKS when I did the very first SYNC update several years ago. I raised all sorts of hell with Ford about it and they never fixed it or gave me a reason why it started doing this shit. I asked to speak directly with engineering so I could tell them what was WRONG with the program. It is what you describe. It does not give the phone time enough to re-connect before resorting to switching to line-in. My guess is there was a line of code with a 10 second delay in it and someone decided to make the code more efficient by removing this 10 second delay! [B][I][U] The funny thing is that when I bought my Lincoln MKS, it worked perfectly.[/U][/I][/B] You could stop, get out, come back, and BTST would come right back on and it would start playing where it left off. After that first upgrade, it went to shit and has never come back regardless of the dealer installing new software or me updating it. I asked Ford to roll back the software and they said that was impossible. I told them they were full of shit as I had cloned hard drives before a software upgrade and if a software install went south, we simply swapped the drives. I told them not to jack around with me because I am an electrical engineer and know a little bit about computers and electronics. They still said the software couldn't be rolled back and again I told them over the phone: bullshit. I said an EEPROM can be totally erased and reprogrammed! BTW, we do that everytime we load a new tune into the PCM for the engine. I simply gave up on it and SYNC all together. When I got the 2014 GT and saw it had the same system, I tried the BTST route and got the same results and I said screw it and have never used it on my car. Let me tell you how I fixed the problem. I went and bought a 64GB memory stick. Loaded all my mp3s on it, plugged it into the USB port and play them all through USB instead of BTST.

Thanks for the information, I was hoping this rev had fixed it. I won't bother to do the upgrade on neither my MKS or the GT500 that has this system. This is what Ford gets for using Microsoft rather than going with Apple and getting something that works. JMHO but my iphone always works as well as my Mac and I don't have to screw and fiddle around with it like I do microsoft products. [/QUOTE]
